Lars Torben Kremer proudly announced yesterday, August 19th, the immediate availability for download of the stable release of the Snowlinux 3 Xfce Edition operating system.
Dubbed Crystal, Snowlinux 2 Xfce is based on the Debian 6 (Squeeze) operating system and it's powered by the LTS (Long Term Support) Linux kernel 3.2 and the Xfce 4.8.4 desktop environment.
This release is 100% compatible with Debian's software repositories, and it is supported with security updated and patches until February 2014.
"Due drastic changes with Gnome 3 and Unity, XFCE is growing more and more up. XFCE is quite similar to the most popular Desktop environment Gnome 2 and offers an alternative for all former Gnome 2 users. This is one of the reason why Snowlinux XFCE got so much new features and improvements."
"It should not lack some features and functions which are available in the main edition. We are trying to let XFCE act like Gnome 2 and to offer an alternative for all former Gnome 2 users." - said Lars Torben Kremer in the official release announcement.
